Master Overseer; 7. Senior Overseer; S. Junior
Overseer.

the High Priest, as R. W. Master; King, as Senior
Grand Warden; Scribe, as Junior Grand Warden;
Captain of the Host, as Master of Ceremonies;
Principal Sojourner, as Senior Deacon; Royal
Arch Captain, as Junior Deacon; Master of the
Third Veil, as Master Overseer; Master of the
Second Veil, as Senior Overseer; Master of the
First Veil, as .Junior Overseer. The Treasurer,
Secretary, and Tyler, corresponding in rank with
the same officers in other Degrees. These officers
are filled by the officers of the Chapter under
whose warrant the Lodge is held.
The symbolic color of the Mark Degree is purple.
The apron is of white lambskin, edged with
purple, and the collar of purple, edged with gold.
But as Mark Lodges are no longer independent
bodies, but always held under the warrant of a
Royal Arch Chapter, the collars, aprons, and
jewels of the Chapter are generally made use of
in conferring the Mark Degree.
Lodges of Mark Masters are "dedicated to Hiram,
the Builder."
